Djebel Grouz, Figuig, Morocco. One hundred stones, collected and piled up, were carried one by one over a straight distance of one hundred paces and then piled into a new heap at the end of the route. A path is created by walking. (Text: Gustav Deutsch) The film shows the artist interacting carefully with the landscape. In the tradition of Land Art, Gustav Deutsch artistically explores the desert around the Figuig oasis. The work is part of the cycle "The Art of the Journey." (Text: Hanna Schimek/Anna Högner)
